The lens offers remarkable low-light performance and selective focus control with its bright f/1.2 aperture, ideal for capturing portraits with a cinematic feel and smooth bokeh. It combines a wide-angle 35mm field of view with a compact design, perfect for street and environmental photography. Precision Glass Molding technology ensures sharp image quality with minimal aberrations. The lens also boasts extended close-range focusing capabilities, enhancing versatility for close-up subjects. Despite its speed, it remains lightweight and compact.
The first wide-angle Noctilux and the fastest 35mm ever produced by Leica, the Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 ASPH. mixes the high speed and selective focus control the series is known for with a natural wide-angle field of view and a uniquely compact design.
The calling card of the Noctilux series, this lens is distinguished by its impressively bright f/1.2 maximum aperture. This is Leica's brightest 35mm lens yet, making it well-suited to low-light use, for selective-focus portraits, and other subjects that are benefitted by a unique shallow depth of field look.
This is the first Noctilux lens with a 35mm focal length, offering a wider field of view compared to the existing 50mm and 75mm Noctiluxes, for a natural perspective that includes more background information and context than the narrower focal lengths.
The fast design still allows the lens to be selective but the wide-angle focal length makes the lens more suitable for traditional reportage, street, and environmental portraiture applications.
Contributing both to the lens's small size and impressive image quality, this Noctilux-M 35mm f/1.2 utilizes Precision Glass Molding (PGM) technology to create a more efficient and exacting optical design.
Optimized for high-resolution M cameras, this lens provides the sharpness and resolution for the latest image sensors while still retaining the character and handcrafted quality associated with Leica optics.
This is the first Noctilux lens to feature extended close-range focusing down to 1.6' (50 cm); compared to the conventional 2.3' (70 cm) of most rangefinder lenses, this additional range suits working with close-up subjects at a maximum magnification of 1:11.6.
